Section 91 First Republic

readx;? On December 4, 1789, before the Féléon government could recover from Briand's willful resignation, the shortest-serving Minister of the Interior in French history disappeared from the political center of Paris and officially returned to the Duchy of Baden with his army, which seemed to ordinary people to draw a sentence on his political career.

The new government cabinet had just been formed, and with Briand's previous legendary resume and status, the resignation of the cabinet minister instantly caused a sensation throughout France. Before Lafayette could figure out what this Brion was up to, reporters from various media outlets flocked to the Duchy of Baden to interview Briand.

Brion, who originally wanted to enjoy his hard-won leisure time, could only express helplessness in the face of this situation. After a few years of hard work in France, Brion is only 20 years old and has become a superstar in the country. A press conference is also inevitable, and it can also be a legitimate explanation to Lafayette's side by the way.

"Duke of Baden, what is the reason for his resignation as Home Secretary, and what are your next steps?" was the most immediate question for Briand, and probably the focus of attention on all of France. Not only because of Brion himself's powerful position, but also because of his strength as a vassal of one side, worried the revolutionary government.

However, it seemed that the whole French were about to be disappointed, and without thinking about it, Brion replied solemnly: "Well, the reason is that I am absolutely not capable enough to be the Minister of the Interior, and I must be responsible to the French people." As for the rest of my time, I just want to enjoy my life in the Duchy of Baden. ”

The reason for his resignation was naturally prevarication, but after several years of continuous tempering by the golden iron horse, Brion was indeed tired of the political battles and battles on the battlefield.

However, as a man, Brion's long-suppressed desire for women has become more and more intense, and Charlotte's sexy maturity and Audrey's innocence and shyness have made him excited. However, Audrey's girlish purity and shyness always gave Brion an indescribable pity.

With the sunset in the Duchy of Baden, Audrey bathed in the sunset always looks extraordinarily beautiful. At this time, she was always a little naughty to support her chin with her hands, and she didn't bow her head shyly as usual, but cast her eyes on Brion. Her eyes are always full of confusion and anticipation, I am afraid that this girl never thought that she would come to Baden Castle, where everything is unknown and mysterious.

Under normal circumstances, Brion may still have some resistance to beautiful women. However, such a peerless beauty with a smile in her eyes revealed an irresistible weakness, and Brion also had an extra tenderness that she usually didn't have.

At the end of his speech, in order to reassure the Féillants, Brion finally added: "Although I have left the government, I still support the French revolutionary government. As long as it is politically necessary, I pledge to do everything in my power to be at the forefront of the French Revolution. ”

It was obvious to everyone that this was just a very stiff diplomatic rhetoric. However, Briand only wanted to implicitly convey to Lafayette that the political situation in France would have nothing to do with him in the future, and he would not interfere in anything again.

As for this result, it is indeed incredible, but only two years later, I am afraid that Brion will not be able to control the rest of the matter.

However, Lafayette also seemed to understand Briand's thoughts, and it was very interesting that Briand's resignation did not make any waves in France, but the time passed. It's just that Sières succeeded him as Minister of the Interior always made him extremely disgusted, and I am afraid that fools understand that the reason why Sières was able to become Minister of the Interior as a middle-level leader within the Fiyan faction was nothing more than the light of Brion.

Even after Brion wrote his resignation letter, he wrote to the Feuillants and strongly recommended Sières to be a major minister of internal affairs.

Now that Brion has disappeared, why do you continue to keep Siaiyes?

Fast forward to February 1790, less than three months after Sières had been Minister of the Interior, when Lafayette suddenly and without warning officially announced that Sières had been dismissed from his ministerial position, without even a decent reason.

I am afraid that Lafayette did not understand that not only did this move cause Sières to completely lose confidence in the Feuillants, but even his prestige in the eyes of the French people was gradually disappearing. Of course, Lafayette, as the supreme leader of France, did not care about this at this time, even if his arrogance began to shake the faith in the hearts of the members of the Fjäyon faction.

Brion naturally understood what kind of tragedy would happen to the Feiyan faction with the memory of his previous life, but it was his leisurely temporary seclusion that brought history back on the track, and gave Brion a good time to recuperate.

It was also in the middle of June that weapons expert Ferguson took the original Ferguson rifle as the base model at the military factory headquarters in the Duchy of Baden, and after several months of in-depth research, finally developed a new generation of Ferguson B.

However, the Ferguson rifles of the Type B series can be said to have made a qualitative leap in performance compared to the previous two generations, and even compared with the weapons of this era, they can easily surpass forty years. Staying one step ahead of others to master the most advanced military strike force is the secret of war that Brion has always believed in.

In terms of range, the B rifle has achieved an effective range of 350 meters, and the rate of fire has also reached 12 to 15 rounds per minute, coupled with the significant reduction in the weight of the gun itself, which has also increased the rifle's shooting accuracy a lot.

What's more, compared to the previous Ferguson rifle, the cost of this B-type rifle has been reduced by nearly one-third or more. This means that the B-type Ferguson rifle can be mass-produced without pressure in Brion to equip the army.

It's just that Brion is now only hoping to stock up on the mass production of B-type rifles, and has not really moved the idea of equipping the regular army. This is done in order to maintain military superiority through secrecy, and secondly, it has not been long since Brion's army has really been fully equipped with Ferguson A2 rifles, and it is indeed a waste to eliminate them so early.

As for the first-generation Ferguson rifle, it is now sold to military factories to the French ** team or for recruits to familiarize themselves with the rifle. However, Brion still has to strictly control this type of gun that has been eliminated by his own descendants, and the most important thing is that it must not flow abroad.

However, Brion did not spare a moment in the production of the B-type rifle. Then, in early July, it was officially announced that it would secretly strengthen the rapid reaction force in Brion during the current period of peace, and expand the 600-man special operations battalion led by Ferguson into a commando force of 1,500 men, all equipped with B-type Ferguson rifles.

Brion almost never used this force, and the only time it was fought was in the Battle of Baden. However, at that time, this special force ambushed the well-equipped 7,000 Osa coalition troops with a small force of 200 men, not only severely damaged the Austrian force, but also captured the commander Archduke John. With the combat effectiveness of this army, it can be said that it is the trump card of the aces in the Brion army, and every soldier is carefully selected from the elite of the Brion army, and at the same time, it is already a reflection of Brion's importance to be equipped with new weapons. In Brion's words, this secret force will become a sharp knife in the chest of the enemy army in the future!

On July 14, 1790, to commemorate the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, an unprecedented National Festival of Alliances was held in Paris. Representatives from various parts of France, as well as local legions that supported the constitutional government, also sent representatives to Paris to watch the ceremony. It's just that in the list of invitees, only Brion and the representative of the city of Lyon were not present, and Lafayette was naturally a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do but smile awkwardly.

After all, although Briand withdrew from French politics, he still has a lot of influence at home. To put it bluntly, no matter what the government, only Brion has absolute leadership power in the city of Lyon.

However, the good times were short-lived. The French Revolution had long caused unrest in the surrounding countries, and seeing that Louis XVI could no longer be the master in France, Austria, Prussia and other European military powers immediately formed an alliance to interfere in the internal affairs of France. On April 20, 1792, the Franco-Austrian War broke out. As the commander-in-chief of the National Guard, Lafayette led the main force of the National Guard in the middle of the army into the Netherlands, although some progress was made in the battle with the Austrian army, but the northern route army suffered heavy losses due to the defeat in the battle, and the two sides almost became a stalemate on the front.

However, as a full-fledged and pioneering leader of the Girondins, Brissot, who had worked for Lafayette, gradually surpassed the influence of the Fjëláns in parliament after co-opting a large part of the Fjëlānīs.

At the critical moment when the Prussian and Austrian armies were heavily oppressed, Brissot seized the opportunity to launch a popular uprising on August 10, and after capturing the king's residence in Paris, the uprising was declared successful. It is only strange that the Girondists only captured Louis XVI, while Queen Mary was missing, as if she had disappeared from the world. However, Lafayette, who had been fighting abroad, had no choice but to resign from his post as commander-in-chief of the National Guard and announce his retirement from politics.

The uprising of 10 August brought the Girondists to power, forcing the Legislative Council to repeal the 1791 constitution, abdicate the king, and introduce universal suffrage. At the same time, the French ** team and the volunteers organized by various localities defeated the foreign coalition forces at the Battle of Valmy on September 20.

On 21 September, after forcing the dissolution of Parliament, the Girondists inaugurated the National Convention, which was elected by universal suffrage. As the war progressed, the new Girondist government, represented by Brissot, officially proclaimed the First French Republic, and a month later quickly executed Louis XVI, and the whereabouts of Queen Mary were not making any major moves, except for the issuance of a wanted notice.

However, with the execution of Louis XVI, and the French team has won consecutive battles, it has been fought abroad. In February 1793, Prussia, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, Sardinia, Hanover, and Great Britain formed an anti-French alliance to carry out armed intervention against France. In the face of the menacing first anti-French alliance in history, the Girondists were powerless to resist.

Robespierre, the leader of the Jacobins, also took advantage of the weakness of the Girondists to launch a coup d'état, forcing the Girondists to step down, and Brissot and other Girondist leaders were executed. Soon, by the beginning of 1794, all foreign intervention forces had been driven out of the country, and the rebellion in the country had largely subsided.

In the newspapers, however, Brion saw a name that he was very excited about. That's right, his former friend Napoleon, who was at the Royal Academy of France, became famous in the Battle of Toulon and was promoted to brigadier general of the French Revolutionary Army.

The good fortune of the Jacobins did not last long, as the bitter internal divisions, coupled with the introduction of a system of terrorism in the country, almost isolated the Jacobins. The anti-Robespierre dictatorship in the Convention formed the Thermidorian Party, which was followed by a sudden Thermidorian coup d'état on July 27, 1794, which executed Robespierre.

Following the dissolution of the Convention by the Thermidorians, a new government agency, the Directory, was established in early February 1795. To Brion's relief, among the five ruling governors, in addition to the historical Barras and others, Sières was indeed among them.

Napoleon, on the other hand, was naturally considered by the Thermidorians to be a remnant of the Jacobin lackeys because he was following Robespierre's men, and was imprisoned.

"Now it's time for us to get back to Paris. Brion excitedly looked north at Baden Castle.

。。。。。。。

In a secret chamber of Brion's castle, Brion slowly walked up to a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume. She raised her head slightly, and the delicate and charming face instantly made Brion feel a burst of amazement. Although he is ten years older than Briand, he is still the best in the country.

Perhaps, according to history, Queen Marie would have been guillotined only a short time after Louis XVI's execution. However, Brion had already arranged for MacDonald's Skynet agents to set up an ambush and take Mary away if the situation was not good.

Looking at the man in front of her, Mary just said a few words quietly: "When will I be released back to Austria?"

Queen Mary's eyes were filled with sorrow, not only was her country ruined, but her husband, King Louis XVI of France, was guillotined. The power of life and death of this former Austrian princess is completely up to Briand, and there is no right to choose.

And Brion was only silent at this time, in fact, saving Queen Mary was nothing more than sympathy and not wanting such a peerless beauty to die. More importantly, however, Mary is the aunt of the current Austrian Emperor, Francis II, and is definitely a significant bargaining chip in Brion's hands. As a last resort, this woman must not be allowed to return to China.

"Perhaps, now is not the time. ”
